  This was soo cool. The train taking you into the tunnel was neat, but getting into the 5 miles stretch of the caves they have made viewable to the public, unbelievable! Breathtaking, and worth the drive. Beautiful country.

  These caves are absolutely enormous and well worth a look. You don't even have to walk ! A little open train takes you from one area to the other. Worth a look

  They can have a shorter tour with just the train ride and back. The souvenir shop at the end of the walk sells the same (fewer, if anything) stuff the one on the outside does. Mind you, it's extremely well laid out. There are no steps, and all is ramp. So you don't end up fatigued and panting at the end. The lighting is enough to see by and not look at (except the chandeliers in the wide hall). There was even a floor polisher (one of those R2D2 lookalikes) stashed away in a corner, which gives an idea of how clean it all is. It was our fault we reached just in time for a tour to begin and got mixed up with a wrong language group. Even so, most guides speak English and one was most helpful in filling us up on what we'd missed. The road down the hill to Ljubljana is awesome. It's quite easy to ditch the car for this trip. Most days there's a direct bus service from Ljubljana to the caves. And even when not, the Postojna bus station is about a 15 min walk away.

  The caves are breath taking in their vastness and beauty. The tour begins with a train journey taking you deep into the caves where you will see impressive formations in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. Again, definitely worth a visit as you will probably not have experienced anything like this before.

  I recommend this if you are in Slovenia. We took a bus from Ljubljana, which takes less than an hour. The caves are about a 25 minute walk from the bus station. The admission cost was about 23 euros and, while plenty, it was worth it. As others say, there is a train into the caves, and then a walk, all amounting to 1 1/2 hours. The guide was excellent. This place could be a zoo in the summer, but in January, it was very pleasant.

  We visited Postojna caves in the middle of winter and were both pretty amazed by the train system within the caves. Given that we have seen many limestone caves before, this way of traveling through the cave is our first. Only wished that the train could have gone slower at certain interesting parts of the cave. We had lunch at the restaurant, which was a tad bit expensive for ordinary food, but was otherwise enjoyable.

  Dear guest,thank you for your review. We appreciate that you have enjoyed the cave and we are sorry that you were disturbed by other guests in the group. We'd like to inform you that we offer audio guides in 15 different languages, including japanese, chinese, korean and many other, so it would have been possible for them to hire an audio guide. Perhaps they didn't know for this possibility. However we thank you for your remark as we are trying hardly to improve our services.Best regards, Postojnska jama Managment

  The Postojna Cave system was hollowed out by the Pivka River, which enters a subterranean tunnel near the cave’s entrance. We saw about 5.7 km of the cave on an amazing 1½-hour tours. There are dry galleries, decorated with a vast array of white stalactites shaped like needles, enormous icicles and even fragile spaghetti. A must visit site if you are in Slovenia.

  This was a lovely experience, reached by bus just an hour from Ljubjana. The caves go on for miles and are awe inspiring, really worth taking the time out to visit and not an expensive trip. There are plenty of underground walkways opening up into large caverns, plus a great train ride into the tunnels. Admittedly it's quite 'touristy', with crowds of people being herded along, but it's only to be expected that it's going to be a popular place, so you have to put up with that, and can still find it a breathtaking sight.
